Integration of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Structures in Machine Tools Using the Example of a Swivel Arm

Article Preview

Abstract:

Classical lightweight construction in the field of machine tools is reaching its limits. New materials like fibre reinforced plastics are not widely used yet. The main reasons are the high material and production costs. This paper presents an approach for substituting a conventional component of the machine tool’s periphery by a structure made of fibre reinforced plastics. An easy and economic production process was used to enable quick fabrication.
